An MBA is just a good, general piece of education that helps you understand more broadly how a company functions, and gave me some knowledge that was really important for where my career is at the moment.
Paul Betts - Cloned
Online MBA (Managing and Leading People) graduate
I highly recommend this course, it has been a wonderful experience, tough at times, but I'm better for it. The flexibility of the learning is perfect for busy executives and it's very current so everything applies to your real-world experiences.
Maria Smith - Cloned
Online MBA (Managing and Leading People) student and CEO
For me, this was the next natural progression in my career as a leader in Health and Technology. The fact that my work and home life are time-poor, like many of us, led me down the path of online study where I could set my own pace for each module of the course. Online study also meant that I didn't have the distraction of having to travel to campus or sit in lectures.

Frequently asked questions
For some SCU Online courses, if you have sufficient experience, we can often accept this in lieu of a bachelors qualification. Read more about gaining a postgraduate degree without a bachelors degree here
The course cannot be fast-tracked more so than what it already has been, but after an assessment of potential advanced standing, we can determine your actual completion date.
We recommend that students allocate between 15-20 hours per week for their online postgraduate units with SCU Online.
No, our study periods run in seven-week cycles. Therefore, to effectively consolidate what you have learnt from each unit, you should only study one unit at a time. Having said that, you can study up to six units in a year, which means you can graduate faster than if you were studying on-campus, part-time.
There are no pre-defined lectures that you must sit through, however, each unit of study has its own learning materials, often including weekly activities, required readings, videos and recordings. It is up to the student to organise their own time to be kept up-to-date with the weekly content.
